TARK, I am not S.Redmond. Don’t even know who that dude is. Your powers of deduction and judgement are even poorer than your so-called knowledge of the beautiful sport of boxing. Cool. Call me all the names under the sun if you so wish, but its good for you to hoist yourself on by your own petard. FYI I don’t hero worship anyone, but your analogies are so poor it’s not even worth reading your b.s. You set your calibrations of fighters like a corrupt World body official to suit whatever mood you are in that day and lie and back track over what you say.
You make excuses for Canelo and then try to bury SRR over heat exhaustion fighting Joey Maxim.
You really are a prize idiot.
If you were writing for the medical profession they would label you as a Quack!

Anon/Sredmond…, YOu are simply an ATI i.e. all-time-idiot.

I have never built Trout up. I pointed out that he dominated Cotto as thoroughly as Floyd did.. That’s simply the truth, I pointed out often that he was a light hitter.

I don’t hero worship Wilder. I said DW needed rounds badly and was poorly matched…. Danny Garcia wasn’t one of my favorites either. I always pointed out that Danny doesn’t have a jab. I compared him unfavorably to Mikey Garcia… Canelo I said wouldn’t reach his peak for 7 years and said that he dosen’t have the jab Cotto has.

I always said Holmes was the number 2 heavyweight ever.

If I say anything nice about a contemporary boxer, it doesn’t mean I’m hero worshiping them. You’re a stupid asshat like I said.

I criticize boxers from every generation… Unlike you, who’s got his snout up the rear ends of Hearns, Duran, Leonard, Hagler, Robinson, and Ali.

TARK, the only myth is that you are or were something special in boxing. Your evil agenda to strip the glory from ATG fighters Hagler, Hearns, Benitez, Ali, SRR and so many more is well documented.
Your curmudgeonly ways and pernicious lies have been noted for how you use obtuse b.s. To try to denigrate great fighters and yet you are a hypocrite and skirt the issues when you are presented with the facts.
example: Your hero Wlad was KOd 3 times by fighters who no one will ever remember, yet you give him hero worship and denigrate Hearns for getting stopped 3 times, 2 of those defeats to ATG Hagler and SRL.
You hero worship Wilder, hero worship Danny Garcia, hero worship Broner, Lara and Canelo and Trout and slag off the ATG Hall of Famers, of which none of these men will achieve anything like their status and will probably be forgotten in 20 years from now, whereas the greats will never be forgotten.
You do have a very wicked agenda and you have DUCKED again and again and again just what fleeting association you ever had with either amateur or pro boxing and whatever fantasy you had of a career as a boxing writer.

You, TARK are the biggest DUCKER out there!

I don’t bend facts… I believe there’s a lot of myths out there… and I try to shed a little light on them.

Some of the old timers compiled impressive records — because they were fighting quite a few cans who they wouldn’t hire as sparring partners.

Sometimes it backfired.. Such as Robinson fighting Ralph Jones after the man compiled 5 straight losses… Jones looked a lot less dangerous than he actually was, but his fighting style was murder on Robinson.

BTW.., Check the won/loss record of Floyd’s opponents vs Robinson’s… Maybe 25 of Robinson’s 1st 100 opponents were ligitimate matchups. The rest were record padding.

Frazier never really beat Ali… He would have beat him today with the 10-point system and the 2-point round. With the knockdown round… and the 11th round where he had Ali hurt and going.

But Ali did more damage. He landed many more punches, and won 8 rounds of that fight, which was scored on straight rounds system with no 2-point rounds… To me, it was a political statement — because Ali was an anti-war hero and disliked by the establishment at the time. One judge gave Ali only 4 rounds … That was sad.

None of those things were inconsistent Goose…

You can be a dangerous puncher and not be able to defend yourself well… i.e. Seth Mitchell and Darnell Boone

Foreman could crush a little short guy who couldn’t box because he’s bigger, stronger, faster, and tougher.

Nathan Clevery could be an undefeated World Champion and still be a punching bag for somebody as great as Sergei Kovalev … in fact Cleverly stopped Hopkins last opponent—and B-Hop said he would stop him but couldn’t because he’s an old man and too damned feeble.

Ali could win 8 rounds against Frazier in 1971… even though he’s getting the sh!t knocked out of him because his defense vs left hooks was terrible…

Foreman could actually defend left hooks better than Ali could… George just couldn’t handle a jab or straight right because his head was immobile.

Eventually, Stevenson and Kovalev will fight. Al Haymon is going to avoid the match as long as possible so that his fighter can soak up as much dinero as he can before taking such a high risk fight. Almost everybody seems to pick the Russian to beat A.D. – it should be noted that Kovalev has not met a fighter with the punch-power and hand speed that Stevenson brings to the table. The fact of the matter is that either man is capable of knocking out the other. This really is a toss up fight. Nothing like the one sided Kovalev beatdown so many are making it out to be.

TARK is an imbecile. Barkely stopped Hearns in their first fight after taking a hammering for almost all of the fight until he corked out a right hand that decked Hearns as he was going in for the kill and he stopped him moments later!
The second bout, 15 pounds heavier, Hearns lost a CLOSE, SD on points over 12 to Barkley. 114-113, 115-113 and 114-113 for Hearns.
If this is easily beat, then TARK should no longer be posting on ESB.
TARK, you truly are an imbecile!

That’s completely irrelevant because Frazier never beat Ali in the first place.. They scored rounds back then — so you tell me what 8 rounds Frazier won in that 1971 fight.. and he lost their other 2 fights… But it should have been 0-3 for Frazier vs Ali.. He didn’t win ANY of those fights.

Frazier was a wide open walk in hooker … and Foreman couldn’t miss him.. It was the most ridiculous mismatch in Heavyweight History.. George was 5 inches taller… 4 times as strong… had 10 inches in reach on Frazier… It was a horrendous joke.

Frazier was knocked down 6 times in 5 minutes.. He wouldn’t have made a sparring partner for Foreman.

If you match 2 guys who can’t box, the bigger, stronger, faster, and tougher man wins every time… Jimmy Young couldn’t punch—but he had skills.

A much better example is Roberto Duran beating Iran Barkley… Barkley easily beating Tommy Hearns twice… And Hearns bombing Duran out like he didn’t belong in the same ring … So you can’t necessarily go by wins.

But Kovalev matches up very well with Stevenson. He murders him easily with the jab and straight right. Stevenson gets lost against deft boxer-punchers.. Dawson could box but he couldn’t throw hard.

Funny you say that but yet you don’t say anything about the HBO fighters fighting cherry picked fights that are handed to them by HBO. Stevenson wants to fight Hopkins. How is that cherry picking? This is why you don’t sign long term contracts with HBO or Showtime. That way you are not obligated to fighting on 1 network. But if they offer you crazy money it is very hard to say know. HBO ponied up money and gave additional dates to fighters that didn’t deserve it but they refuse to pay other fighters what they think they are worth. Terrible

If you’re a boxing fan you’ve got to love and respect Kovalev. In the krusher you have a formidable fighter you can decapitate an opponent in a second and crush them in the midsection with a single shot. I was on the fence but now I’m a fan. Adonis has pulled off one the smartest maneuvers in recent memory as he clearly wants no part of the Russian Krusher I wouldn’t either if I were him. It’s going to take a special fighter, a really special fighter to beat him. Ward maybe, but it’s really a long shot. Kovalev is here to stay and maybe a move to the 190 pounds division is where he can find someone to neutralize is advantage in terms of sheer brute force.

This writer really has no idea about boxing! Can someone please tell me the last time Bernard Hopkins was stopped? Thats right, never! Stevenson is a half decent fighter but no where near the level of some of the guys Hopkins has come up against. I remember writers like this fearing for Hopkins safety pre the Pavlik fight and having egg on their faces after he schooled him. I’m not saying this would happen against Stevenson but I would say theres no way Stevenosn knockes Hopkins out. He may win an ungly points victory but Hopkins will always be too elusive to be knocked out.

It’s funny that Adonis does the trash talking after the fight plan falls apart. Although at the moment perhaps he only has a one fight deal with Showtime. But HBO and Al Haymon generally do not do business together. I think some of it is because the top execs at HBO hold a grudge against Al for taking Floyd over to Showtime. If Adonis doesn’t sign a multi fight deal with Showtime and HBO is willing to deal with Haymon at least for one fight then maybe it could still happen. But this is boxing so I doubt it.:)

Regarding Adonis wanting to fight Mr. Kovolov, They were BOTH promoted by HBO, then Adonis leaves the network and then states he now wants a fight that he himself made impossible by signing with Showtime. Everybody saw it over these last three weeks. He took bigger money on Showtime for less danger. What’s changed my mind about who is more confident is that Adonis asked for a fight after he knew he wouldn’t get it, and didn’t push for it when he had the fight guaranteed within the next 6 months with HBO. That tells me that everybody (Stevenson included now) knows that Kovelov is the best in the light heavyweight division until someone can beat him. Been a while when a fighter caused other fighters to leave an entire network rather than fighting him. Good fight btw, Agnew was good, but not busy enough and should have taken more chances sooner.

Glad Kovalev does not speak English very well or else, he would not have said the obvious. Hopefully this does pull Stevenson to fight him. I still don’t see Stevenson being able to beat Kovalev. Stevenson does have the power to KO Kovalev, but he does not have the defense or toughness to withstand Kovalev’s firepower. I see the toughest fight for Kovalev coming from old man Hopkins, mainly because BHop will make it ugly and will land some clean shots but cannot match the work rate of Kovalev.

Since Stevenson got a late start his age isn’t compared to those who have been boxing their whole lives

Stevenson wants no part of Kovelev not even mentioning his name as an opponent when they fought on the same card with Kov destroying the tougher opponent. He is gonna duck and milk that belt. Kov defense is fine, the guy couldn’t hurt him so he took chances to make that a good fight. If he would have shown a ton of defense they would have posed for 12 rounds. That dude got blasted by Kovs weaker ARM while he was on ONE FOOT. That is power son.

“Stevenson’s age clock is clicking, as he’s 36 now and he obviously isn’t going to be able to keep fighting too much longer at a high level.”

Says who?

No way hbo will let kov walk he is one of a few future stars on there network right now. They will try to match him with next best thing in pascal and that would be almostjust as big a fight especially in canada. Showtime is trying to flew claiming stevenson agreed to fight kov on there network. Like they just no kov will be signing with them sooner or later. That will not happen hbo still has all the money and most of the power. Showtime has gbp, floyd and more importingly they have hayman. So at the moment they look to be killing hbo. Hbo will have the last laugh trust me and f espenoza that prick.

Squared-Circle Real Talk (a.k.a. LionKing)

A little reading never hurts:
“Kovalev is still locked up in a long-term contract with HBO, and there’s no way that either of them can fight each other until their contracts expire.”

Question is, is Kovalev contracted to HBO or has HBO just been backing him and purchasing his fights?

The fight between Kovalev and Stevenson could take place if Showtime and HBO use rational thought rather than be motivated by childish emotions or greed. A contract and an agreement could be reached where both sides make $. I do not agree with Hopkins not having a chance against Stevenson. In fact I’m saying that Hopkins will outbox Stevenson all night. Hopkins isn’t a brawler, rather he’s a smart, sophisticated boxer and boxing is the name of the game. People tend not to like either Hopkins or Mayweather because they’re boxers, not street fighters.

Stevenson following ‘Haymon Boxing Business 101′ – calling out a fighter over Twitter knowing damn well there’s no way the fight can be made with the current contractual/promotional situation. Yawn….
